Officer Mark Lewis Accused of Stealing Tires from Police Cruiser

A police officer accused of stealing tires from city police cruisers and installing them on his own car has resigned in lieu of being charged with a felony.

Mark Lewis, 40, could lose his police certification, said police Lt. William Glennon.

Lewis, who resigned June 6, has since repaid Sunrise $411 for the tires. He could not be reached for comment.

He became a Sunrise officer in 2004.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will review Lewis' case later this month.

Lewis initially denied taking the tires, the report said. When investigators told Lewis each tire has a number that shows the year it was made, Lewis admitted to stealing the tires.
